Tentative new school schedule next year: 8:20- 3:10 dismissal.
New lunch system called Point of Sale- children will get their lunch as usual. D75 kids are free always. Breakfast is always free for all kids. D15 kids lunch is either free, half price or they pay the full amount. The milk distribution is different. It used to be that kids could grab a milk. Now milk costs 25 cents. Parents should get a My School Bucks account. School will give families their student’s 9 digit ID number.
Arts and Science Day
Thanks to all who volunteered for an amazing day!
Thank you to Sarah Collins for leading the science activities. We will need artists to lead the arts activities for next year since Alise’s son is graduating.
